            Do not sell out Liberia's forests for Dubai's climate excesses!
            Dear friends of the rainforests,

            The Liberian government is about to sign over one million hectares of forest to Dubai-based Blue Carbon. The company wants to sell carbon credits to offset climate-damaging emissions by supposedly protecting rainforests in West Africa.

            This deal is shameless neocolonialism: It would put nearly ten percent of Liberia's land area under foreign control, violating the rights of forest communities while benefiting neither the forests nor the climate.

            To protect the climate, we must make fossil fuels history. Greenwashing projects by wealthy petro-states seeking to delay the end of fossil fuels have no place here.

            Please support Liberia's environmentalists by signing our petition to the German government and others.

                  TAKE ACTION  
                  Thanks for being involved,

                  John Hayduska

            Putting their lives on the line: Indigenous people and environmentalists face threats
            Our consumption of agricultural commodities, metals, minerals and timber is taking a heavy toll on people in the global South: In 2022, at least 177 activists were killed for defending their land rights and protecting nature. More than a third of the victims were Indigenous people, including our partner Sarapo Kaapor in Brazil.


            The British-American NGO Global Witness has just published its annual report, "Standing Firm", on the threats faced by Indigenous peoples, environmentalists and human rights defenders worldwide.

            The Congo Basin is home to the second largest rainforest in the world – habitat of gorillas, chimpanzees and forest elephants. Lush forests with breathtaking biodiversity can also be found in West Africa and on Madagascar.

            Our African partners are courageous activists who are fighting the good fight in often dangerous environments. They need your support to continue their vital work.
